Incredible Baltoro, one of the most beautiful treks in the world, this royal way is leading at the foot of the giants.  Outside polar areas, it is one of the biggest glaciers and its shape is disproportionately sculpted.


From Paju tower, in passing by the exceptional Uli Biaho, and without forgetting the famous Trango towers, everything here is only pure verticals. Kilometres of granite walls rise up above any reason. Come after in this dance, the 7000 peaks, Masherbrum, Muztagh Tower up to Angel Peak, that seems to cuddle shyly close by the gigantesque K2.  In Concordia, surrounded by 8000 and 7000 peaks, the show reaches its climax.


K2 base camp will bring you in the Alpinism atmosphere, from the legends engraved in its slopes, up to the failures and deaths buried in this pyramidal coffin wrapped in angelic finery.


For those who continue towards Gondogoro La, a unique panorama in the world, 4 peaks higher than 8000 meters, in a pocket handkerchief. It is followed by a dangerous descent, towards Xhuspang and the Gondogoro Valley, surrounded by steep peaks such as impressive Leila.  


An extra walk is possible up to K7 Base Camp with its big walls, steep and virgin cliffs for most of them, the cherry on the cake for very good walkers.


The way that leads to the foot of the “gods’ throne” is unique by its dimensions, and for the trek aficionados, it is a visit no to miss!
